付く観覧のポストある: Apple
2006年9月12日 アレックス
counter-cultureに直接関連していなくてが、
Apple プロダクトは私達の生命の多数の部分である。 具体的には、音楽および催し物はAppleが勝る区域である-および私達はすべて喫煙者愛を彼らの音楽知っている。 これを念頭において、tFSは別の視点のAppleの最も最近の基調を破壊することにした。
従って、混乱を片付け、all the主要な発表を破壊するために、ここにSteve Jobsが世界で落としたものがある:
iTunes 7
これは前にのでiTunesの解放6かのほぼ11か月推測された。 主要な更新、Appleのために当然
それはShowtimeである 広告宣伝はダウンロード可能映画の約束を提供した。 それは右-映画である。 価格設定は@新しい解放のためのより古い映画$14.99までのための$9.99をずっと始める。 また$12.99のための解放をpre-orderできる。 かなり急な価格設定がある私は考える
ほとんど HDTVの質のビデオ。 それを越えるためには、hese映画はDVDの価格と同等であり、追加された機能のうちのどれも得ない。
iTunes自体はプラスチック外科を終らせた。 Appleは新しいアルバム及びカバー流れの眺めのような新しい特徴を含むあなたのミュージック・ライブラリーを通して雑多品により多くの意見を、提供した。 古学校を、ジュークボックスのタイプ感じはデジタル何かに持って来て完全に涼しい。
AppleのiPod
iPodは携帯用MP3プレーヤーの全体のラインを更新する。 残念ながら、私達が望んでいた巨大なデザイン変更は解放されて得なかった。 その代り、Appleは新しい80gb版をもたらし、開始@ $249に価格設定を落とした。 1つの涼しい(けれども基本的にsubstanceless)新しい特徴はあなたのiPodのためのゲームの解放である。 タイトルはPac人からテキサスまで握り、それらをゲームごとの$4.99のために利用できる及ぶ。
私は楽しみがゲームスクロール車輪制御といかにあることを行っているか確実ではない。 テキサスがそれらを握るキラーがワイドスクリーンの、タッチ依存iPodといかにあろうか想像しなさい。 よのAh、多分次の基調で。
AppleのiPod Nano
AppleはNanoのよい仕事をした。 それらは価格設定を同じ保ったが、8gb (黒いNanoだけ)に収蔵可能量を高めた。 もう一つの素晴らしい倍力は今音声をする電池の強さにあった、 24時間. Nanoはまた3つの新しい色(赤くか緑または青)そして2gb、4gbおよび8gbサイズで重量を量る全体の整列と入って来。
個人的に、私はより多くの固体感じ、より大きいiPodを好むが、Nanoを使用し、愛する多くの人々の知っている。 So, this should be a welcome upgrade for anyone that enjoys a light-weight, full-featured mp3 player.
Apple Shuffle
This one is ridiculous. As if the Nano wasn’t small enough. As if the Shuffle by itself wasn’t small enough. Now, Apple has taken the Shuffle and chopped it in half. The casing has been completely redesigned and now comes with it’s own docking station. One million of these puppies have sold, so the $79 pricetag seems to be justified by consumers. This is a great solution for students on a budget or maybe even the
Incredible Shrinking Woman. Good luck keeping track of one if it falls out of your pocket or gets lost in a room somewhere.
Extra Announcements
Rounding out the keynote, Steve Jobs dropped a few other pieces of information. Apple previewed its upcoming iTV product. This half mac-mini sized box is going to stream pictures, music and video straight to your TV. If all that’s promised is delivered, this unit will be a nice multimedia center that works with the existing Apple remote. They plan on releasing it around the 1st Quarter of 2007 and price is tentatively set at $299. This was a welcome surprise nearing the end of Steve’s keynote.
Conclusion
So, what’s really the bottom line here? After all the fireworks & smoke has cleared we’ve been left with just a little bit more of the same old stuff. Expected storage capacity upgrades, some pretty new colors, and games to kill even more of your time. The only real blockbusters are the movies store (which I was hoping would be more moderately priced) and the upcoming iTV (which won’t be out until the beginning of next year).
Overall, each tFS staff member is slightly disappointed with this latest set of Apple products. Logical, progressive steps have been taken for Apple to integrate further and further into the hub of life entertainment. We’re talking the whole schebang here - everything intergrated, everything communicating, and everything accessible to modest means of income.
Apple is pioneering the future of our electronic landscape, but it’s been a while since they’ve produced something truly revolutionary. I feel like a kid who asked for a certain present for Christmas and got one similar, but not as awesome as expected. Hopefully, we’ll see the widescreen, touch-sensitive iPod on the horizon, better pricing on the movie downloads, and more mobile communication capabilities in Apple’s next generation of products.
Juicy Blunts likes to get creative with their packaging and even more creative with their flavors. Another example of this is
Apple Brown Betty ($2), an apple-cinnamon concoction with a brown-eyed sweety on the cover.
This wrap smells bomb and has just the right mix of its two main flavors. You don’t get any taste while smoking, but it does leave a sugary sweet flavor on your lips after every puff. Also, as a bonus feature, there is a 1″ wide ‘thin strip’ at the end of each Juicy wrap - this cuts down on rolling time.
Overall, this cinnamon treat is different enough from your average blunt to be worth a try. Pick it up and tell us what you think.

Juicy Jay’s Green Apple papers give you a decent smoke with some extra style. The papes are decorated with small green apples (surprise), measure 3″ x 1.75″ and come with 24 leaves. The aroma is pretty similar to summer apples and an added sweet taste make these papers true to their name. Glue quality is average, as there is always the chance of a bad batch, and the burn quality is pretty average too. Overall, this is a nice paper to use once in a while, but nothing to get excited about.

It’s been a fruit, it’s been a gum, it’s been a pie and even a Jolly Rancher. Sour Apple is famous for its sharp aroma and tart, acidic taste. Well, Da Bomb Blunts current offering delivers on the smell but falls short on flavor. The individual wrappers have a perfect amount of Sour Apple scent and you’re guaranteed fresh leaves by means of Da Bomb’s two seperate layers of blunt packaging. The blunt wraps themselves are almost too bitter to smell directly. The taste, unfortunately, is what breaks off the similarities between this Sour Apple product and its predecessors – there’s practically no taste at all. This isn’t one of Da Bomb’s best, but they still nailed the scent, and the general brand quality is always there.
